Invest 92-L could become next tropical storm; NHC monitoring new area of interest

NEWS ALERTS FOR UPDATES. ALL RIGHT. THIS AFTERNOON TURNING OUR ATTENTION NOW TO THE TROPICS. FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST KELLIANNE KLASS MONITORING NOT ONE BUT TWO AREAS OF INTEREST NOW. KELLIANNE. YEAH, WELL, THE GOOD NEWS IS AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE AREAS OF INTEREST HAS A LOW CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEXT TWO AND SEVEN DAYS. AND THAT’S THE TROPICAL WAVE RIGHT OFF THE COAST OF AFRICA, THE ONE THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON IS INVEST 92 L. YOU’VE BEEN HEARING US TALK ABOUT IT OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS NOW. RIGHT NOW IT LACKS A CLOSED CENTER OF CIRCULATION. SO IT’S NOT A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OR TROPICAL STORM YET. BUT IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO, IT COULD BECOME EITHER A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OR A TROPICAL STORM. GOOD NEWS IS, WITH THIS SYSTEM RIGHT NOW, A LOT OF THE TROPICAL MODELS KEEPING THIS OUT TO SEA, AND YOU SEE THAT TOWARDS THE END OF THE TROPICAL MODEL STARTING TO LIFT NORTH, SUGGESTING THAT THIS IS TRYING TO STAY OUT TO SEA. OUR ENSEMBLE FORECAST PRETTY MUCH VERIFIES THAT. YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF A SPREAD WITH THESE LINES. THE FARTHER THE SPREAD, THE MORE UNCERTAINTY. BUT LET’S AT LEAST TAKE YOU THROUGH OUR DETERMINISTIC MODELS. EUROPEAN AND GFS, BOTH OF THESE SHOWING THAT YES, IT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. AND THEN AS IT GETS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE UNITED STATES BY NEXT WEEK, IT BEGINS TO TURN AND CURVE AWAY FROM THE UNITED STATES. SO RIGHT NOW THERE ARE SIGNS THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO IMPACT US. OF COURSE WE’RE GOING TO MONITOR IT AND ANY SORT OF CHANGES. BUT BACK AT HOME WE’RE GOING TO

The tropical wave, designated as Invest 92-L, is located between the Windward Islands and the coast of West Africa and is producing showers and thunderstorms.

Dry and stable air could likely limit this system’s development over the next few days, but a tropical depression or named storm could form by the middle to latter part of this week.

The system is expected to move west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central tropical Atlantic, the NHC said.
